Hello fellow Top 10 Tuesday participants, and returning readers and friends. Oh, yes, and welcome to December! Today marks a new month of blogging and we kick things off here with another Top Ten Tuesday edition.

Before we get to the books, I must say when I saw this category I figured I've have a ton of books to share and talk about. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that in fact was not true. Why this is, I do not know. I suspect they'll be lots more debuts that have me excited in 2016, but perhaps news is still scare on what those will be making them harder to find. Regardless, I'm excited for the eight titles I did collect. Let's have a look at them, shall we!?

#1. Where she Belongs by Johnnie Alexander

If we want to be all technical, this isn't Johnnie's debut (looking over this list, I did that more than once today... oops!). But it is her first contemporary if I'm not mistaken. That is a debut that deserves celebrating regardless.

This one sounds intriguing. I haven't read much beyond its synopsis, but sometimes that's enough and then we can form our own unbiased opinions. AmazonǀGoodreads

#5. Close to You by Kara Isaac

Kara is a lovely person. She's been a great friend of this blog and I'm beyond excited for her debut. Hopefully I'll have a chance to read it this month because I hear it's ah-ma-zing. Which doesn't surprise me in the least!

I "met" Rachel WAY back when I was actively writing for Femnista. Through Twitter and her blog I got to know her a bit better, and in the last year (or more?), I was thrilled to learn she was publishing a novel with Harvest House. Needless to say, I think this book is going to be smashing! Stay tuned for a fun opportunity as regards Rachel's books next week!

That's wonderful that another person writing for Femnista is publishing! I'm so not on top of what's coming out next year so my TTT this week is a bit different but your list is filled with some interesting titles. Happy reading, Rissi :)

I honestly don't pay much attention to upcoming debut books or authors, I wish I even knew how to do it.. I went off the board this week and hope I have provided a service at the same time for holiday shopping tips for book lovers. My Top Ten Tuesday list

My pleasure, Kara. I'm SUPER excited to read Close to You. I *really* want to read it, like yesterday, but since it doesn't come out until April, I told myself I'd best wait since some of the other books on my TBR come first. :)

I'm really keen for A Study in Charlotte too! I ADORE Sherlock Holmes and I want a female version so so bad. :') And actually I didn't have many debuts I was looking forward to either. D: I will definitely scour your list and look them all up on goodreads. Here's my TTT!

Like you, I'm a big Sherlock fan, Cait! He's a brilliant character. If you like the Sherlock canon and don't mind it set back in the 1900s, you might want to look into Rachel McMillan's new series (listed above). It's a kind of "female" Sherlock and Watson in some sense and if her novella is any indication, this series is going to be ah-ma-zing. Hope you find some good reads, Cait. :)

If the novella that proceeds "Bachelor Girls" is any indication (it's currently on Kindle and e-book platforms), this series will be amazing, Greg. I've read the novella and it's a great set up for the series. :)

I've got Kara and Rachel's books on my list this week too! I'm really looking forward to A Study in Charlotte too but totally forgot about it when I was writing my post lol. Also - I've read both Johnnie Alexander's and Evangeline Denmark's novels to review for RT - you will love them, I think! At least I did :) My TTT

Thanks for including Curio on this list! I'm anxiously awaiting the other fabulous titles you shared, especially The Girl from Everywhere, A Study in Charlotte, and The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder. A Fierce and Subtle Poison caught my eye too. Intriguing title!I hope you enjoy Grey's adventure in the enchanted curio cabinet. Happy reading!

We have a few similar titles on our lists this year! I'm looking forward to "A Study in Charlotte" & "The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder," and I will probably try reading "Curio" as well. I know nothing about "A Fierce and Subtle Poison" but the title certainly sounds interesting. :)

Yay! I cannot wait to read so many of these, Hayden - and make sure to visit next Tuesday for some fun regarding Rachel's series. :) Curio sounds so intriguing and I agree with you; "Poison" is a great tile because it piques ones interest. :)

I am very excited about The Girl From Everywhere also! And I have the same feelings as you do about A Fierce and Subtle Poison- I have no idea if it would be a "me" book, so I am going to wait and see how some reviews go first. Great choices, I hope you enjoy them!!Shannon @ It Starts At Midnight

thanks so much, Rissi, for featuring Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder!!! I AM EXCITED FOR SO MANY OF THE BOOKS on this list! I read an early copy of Close to You and it is wonderful and I am just starting CURIO! so many lovely things to look forward to in 2016 :)

I'd like to add my debut novel, "Free of Malice" to your Top Ten 2016 Debuts Novels We Are Looking Forward To List. It will be available in February 2016.

#FOMbook is a psychological thriller that portrays the emotional realities of healing from a vicious, physical attack and the obsession of one woman to force the legal system to acknowledge her right to self-defense. It's loosely based on personal experience and set in Atlanta.

Let me know if you or any of your readers are interested in being an advance reader! Details and contact info on my blog and website.

Rissi - Thanks a ton for including The Red Door Inn on your list! I'm just so delighted to share this story with readers. Feels like I've been waiting forever for it to arrive. And SO many other fantastic books on the list. I'm familiar with Kara and Rachel's and am quite looking forward to them both! The others are new to me, but I foresee my TBR pile growing greatly! Thanks!

Hi, Liz. Thank you for visiting. I've been excited about your novel since first reading about it and yesterday, I was surprised with a copy of it for review on Life is Story. Needless to say, I cannot wait to get to 'Red Door' on my TBR! :)

Hope you enjoy those you're anticipating (I'm 100% sure Kara's and Johnnie's will be fabulous, and if Rachel's just-released novella is any indication, her series is going to be delightful!). Thanks so much for stopping by. :)
